Saul and the monarchy : a new look
Simcha Shalom Brooks (Author)
The negative biblical presentation of King Saul of Israel has been biased in favour of David at the expense of Saul. This book presents a positive picture and realistic view of the culture of the period extending from Saul to the schism drawing on literary, historical and archaeological material to present a balanced view of the period.
